This crisis of hate that can be unfurled anonymously with reckless abandon on online platforms is akin to lighting a match near a tank full of gasoline with millions of people in proximity. We must not stand on the sidelines while flames of hate threaten to consume us. Online hate must be addressed so that those perpetuating hate are not given a match.

The Coalition has developed this online resource centre with information about education and training material for youth, parents, educators, and policymakers to assist in their efforts to address and combat online hate effectively.

Funding for the Action Summit to Combat Online Hate and this resource centre was provided by the Department of Canadian Heritage through the Anti-Racism Action Program.
